HUMBUG! It’s the last Friday the 13th before Christmas.
This week on “Picture Perfect,” it’s an Ebenezer Scrooge mixtape, with music from film adaptations of the writings of Charles Dickens.
Tune in for selections from “Nicholas Nickleby” (1947) by Lord Berners, “Oliver Twist” (1948) by Sir Arnold Bax, “David Copperfield” (1969) by Sir Malcolm Arnold, and “A Christmas Carol” (1951) by Richard Addinsell.
If I had my way, every fool who goes around with “Merry Christmas” on his lips should be boiled in his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly in his heart!
Blame it on an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato. There will be more of gravy than of the grave about it. Take your pick of Dickens, on “Picture Perfect,” music for the movies, now in syndication on KWAX, the radio station of the University of Oregon!
